Laser in Endodontics

Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2

Abstract

Lasers were introduced into the field of clinical dentistry with the hope of overcoming some of the drawbacks posed by the conventional methods of dental procedures. Since its first experiment for dental application in the 1960s, the use of laser has increased rapidly in the last couple of decades. At present, wide varieties of procedures are carried out using lasers. The most important advantages are improved disinfection efficacy, more effective root canal cleaning, reduction of permeability, reduction of micro-leakage, and elimination of the need to use toxic solvents. The article reviews the applications of laser in endodontics and specifies the clinical importance of the lasers in each and every application.
